• I Want to Train With You This Spring 17.04.2026 10min

Calling them in from the backyard while they barked at the fence. Apologizing to guests at the door. Googling at eleven o'clock at night. You have been doing this mostly alone.

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about sending my own P...

Deeply personal. And then something happened. While speaking at Podfest in Orlando, I found myself waving down Dr. Adam Christman, Chief Veterinary Officer of DVM360, bestselling author, and one of the most truste...
